proprfate the Hawaiian Pie.
SAN Francisco, Sept. 4. - The
steamship " Alameda from Sydney,
Australia, having touched at Homo
lulu, August 26, arrived here at noon
to-day.
Affairs in the Hawaiian Kingdom
continue to remain tranquil. An ac-
tive political canvass is being made
for the election under the new con-
stitution, which will occur September
IL. The nominees for the new House of
Mobiles and House of Representatives
are nearly all Americans or English
men. A banquet was given by the
Honolulu Rifles at their Armory on
August %, to which the King was in
vited, but sent his regrets. In
speeches made at the banquet Ameri-
can and English rulers were toasted
with speeches, but the health of the
King did not bring out any response.
The Hawaiian ambassadors have re-
turned from Samoa and report that
the German naval squadron had
sailed from Sydney for the Islands,
and the belief was prevalent that the
German flag would be raised, despite
any action by the conference in pro-
gress at Washington.
Official advices were received here
to-day from New Zealand to the effeat
that the British squadron had re-
ceived definite orders to sail for Homo
lulu, and were supposed to carry i'm
plicit instructions relating to the pay
ment of the recently negotiated loan.
The new Hawaiian Government has
decided to pay the loan, but minus
the excessive commission demanded
for negotiating the lean.
An Army Scandal.
New YORK, Sept. 4. - A SUMS
Washington special says: Official in
formation received at the War Depart
ment from West Point is to the effect
that the rumored elopement of Lieu
tenant Dorr with the wife of Lieuten-
ant Totem, Fourth Artillery, which
was promptly denied the relatives of
the persons implicated, is a fact.
Dorr and Mrs. Totten left West Point
and went to New York together un-
der circumstances which provoked a
scandal, but the friends Of Mrs. Tot
ten explained that this was a mere
coincidence. Dorr resigned his lieu
tenancy about the same time. His
father urged the Department not to
accept the resignation on the ground
that his son must certainly be insane.
1t is supposed that the Department
thereupon instituted an investigation
and communicated with the officers at
West Point. AT all events, it was
decided not to revoke the acceptance
of the resignation, which accordingly
went into effect yesterday. From
papers transmitted, and now on file in
the Department, it appears that the
elopement had actually taken place
and that Dorr and Mrs. Totem are en-
route together for South America.
Mrs. Totem has taken her child with
her.
Trouble Feared over tbe Ennis
League Meeting.
LONDON, Sept. 4.-Iti is apparent that
it will not be very long until the Gov
eminent is chin deep in the quagmire
of the coercion proclamation. At the
Ennis meeting their object was purely
political, to express renewed conf
dence in Parnell, thank Gladstone and
the Democracy of England for their
support, and to discuss the land act, (
and its principal feature was to have
kna- khn ~~nco-4a - H. DL.I.u o.
hope, the English member of Parlia-
ment, who enjoys the piquant dis
tinction of being a radical Home
Ruler, and the brother of the Tory
Cabinet Minister, and Secretary oil
State for war. This probably is the
secret of the proclamation. Castle
folks do not want English membersto
come to Ireland during the coercion
regime, and the suppression of this
meeting is to attempt to frighten them
